Hurricanes: The Worst in History

By Jenna Vale

Book Overview

Every year, hurricanes tear through tropical areas. While some are minor, others claim lives and cause billions of dollars in damage. Research shows that climate change is making hurricanes stronger. This means it has never been more important for children to learn about these natural disasters. This valuable volume not only covers key ideas related to understanding hurricanes, such as where and how they form, but also what the worst hurricanes in history have taught people about the best ways to prepare and stay safe. Dramatic images, compelling sidebars, graphic organizers, and text carefully crafted for young readers allow this text to be a memorable complement to Earth science curriculum.
